The Nets dropped the hammer on Kyrie Irving, saying he’s unfit to be a part of the organization.
He’s suspended at least five games and Irving will only return if “he satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct.” – 8:17 PM

Seems not only is Kyrie Irving suspended at least 5 games but he may not be allowed back until he shows some kind of understanding of the pain he has caused. Irving has obviously been unwilling to bend in the past. Laudable that Nets are including that as a condition of return. pic.twitter.com/hiUVOAUVPb – 8:17 PM

What I found especially disturbing during Kyrie’s pressers was his tone. These are real issues that have consequences (six million deaths during the Holocaust) and he seemed annoyed that reporters were questioning him. His dismissiveness of the gravity of the subject was shocking – 8:14 PM

Based on Kyrie’s demeanor today and now this suspension, it feels like it may be a wrap for him in Brooklyn.
Where the Nets go from there is unclear. Irving has zero trade value and they would be dealing from a position of weakness in any Kevin Durant trade.
Very bad spot. – 7:53 PM

Many around the league and within the Nets organization were hoping that Kyrie would say at least these two things today:
1. “I’m sorry.”
2. “I don’t have anti-Semitic beliefs.”
That did not happen. – 1:07 PM

The problem now is even if Kyrie is forced into issuing an apology after meeting with Silver, it’ll be empty. He doesn’t want to apologize. He has made that very clear. As he said, he didn’t make the film. (He only promoted it.) – 12:47 PM

I pretty nakedly advocated for the Lakers to trade for Kyrie Irving this offseason. I’m ashamed of that. At this point, if I were running an NBA team, I would simply refuse to employ him, regardless of contract or basketball implications. – 12:46 PM

Gonna go out on a limb and say that Adam Silver sitting down and talking to Kyrie Irving next week isn’t going to change Kyrie Irving. – 12:33 PM

While Kyrie said he takes responsibility for “unfortunate criticisms of the Jewish faith” in the film he posted, the overall tone of his press conference was unapologetic.
Story coming soon. – 12:31 PM

Q: With the benefit of time over the last week — are you sorry for the pain your posts caused people?

So Kyrie doubled down. Can’t get much more clear than that.
He had time to “simmer down” or whatever, time to think through his actions and time to speak to others in order to learn.
He clearly did none of that. He wouldn’t even say he is not anti-Semitic. – 12:26 PM

Don’t give too much credence to public statements in legal disputes. Kyrie, Primo, everyone is trying to manipulate the media to gain support. My advise is reserve judgement until after an independent investigation has published results. – 12:23 PM

Kyrie just spoke for over six minutes. He said he took responsibility for his posts — but there was no formal apology like many around the league were hoping to hear. The press conference was cut short by a Nets PR staffer. – 12:18 PM

“If he wants to participate, we’ll see where it goes,” Marks said. Marks said the team did not consider releasing Irving. “The organization has made multiple attempts to get with Kyrie and representation and have them clarify his feeling and put out a sense or remorse for this and obviously that didn’t happen,” Marks said. “He refused to disavow that until his tweet (Thursday) night. This was the best course of action as it stands right now – to suspend him. They’re not the values of our organization.” -via USA Today Sports / November 4, 2022
